3.              CUSTOMER'S OBLIGATIONS

3.1           As a data controller, it is the Customer's responsibility to ensure that the Customer is entitled to process and to authorise SteamaCo to process the Customer Personal Data in the manner and for the duration envisaged by this Addendum and the Contract. If at any time the Customer has reason to believe that the processing of any Customer Personal Data under this Addendum is in breach of Data Protection Legislation, the Customer shall immediately notify SteamaCo, together with an explanation of the concern.

3.2           Prior to sharing Customer Personal Data with SteamaCo, the Customer shall:

(a)            identify the lawful basis on which the parties can rely under Data Protection Legislation to process such Customer Personal Data. Unless the lawful basis the Customer wishes to rely on is performance of a contract or the data subject's consent, the Customer shall inform SteamaCo of the lawful basis for processing such Customer Personal Data (prior to sharing such personal data with SteamaCo) and if the lawful basis for processing changes, the Customer shall notify SteamaCo as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 14 days after such change occurs;

(b)            provide the following information to Consumers:

"The technology we use to automate your [electricity/utility] consumption is licensed to us and hosted by SteamaCo. SteamaCo will have access to your personal data as a result. Such data will be processed by SteamaCo in accordance with their privacy policy. If you have any queries regarding the use of your personal data, please contact your sales representative or by email at [insert Customer email address]";

together with all other necessary fair processing information required under Data Protection Legislation about the processing of the Customer Personal Data; and

(c)            obtain the Consumer's consent to processing their personal data (where the lawful basis the Customer is relying on to process the Customer Personal Data is consent).

3.3           The Customer shall ensure at all times that the Customer's instructions to SteamaCo for the processing of Customer Personal Data under this Addendum comply with Data Protection Legislation and that compliance with such instructions would not cause SteamaCo to breach any Data Protection Legislation.

3.4           The Customer shall be responsible for the provision of the corresponding fair processing information to relevant data subjects and for obtaining any consents that may be required (in each case to the extent necessary in order to comply with Data Protection Legislation) from that data subject. The Customer shall ensure that such fair processing notices are accurate and complete, and that any consents are sufficient in order for SteamaCo to lawfully process the Customer Personal Data in the manner set out in this Addendum.

3.5           If the Customer requires SteamaCo to transfer any Customer Personal Data to a third party provider engaged by the Customer, the Customer shall be solely responsible for identifying the lawful basis under the Data Protection Legislation on which the parties can rely under the Data Protection Legislation to transfer such Customer Personal Data to the relevant third party provider (and the Customer shall notify SteamaCo of the same). A written data processing agreement must be in place between the Customer and such provider. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that SteamaCo has no control over and shall have no liability in respect of how any personal data is processed by such third party provider engaged by the Customer.

4.              SUPPLIER'S RESPONSIBILITIES

4.1           In respect of the Customer Personal Data processed by SteamaCo on the Customer's behalf, SteamaCo shall:

SteamaCo reserves the right to revise the technical and organisational measures at any time, without notice, provided that such revisions will not materially reduce the overall security provided for the Customer Personal Data that SteamaCo processes;

(f)             ensure that personnel who have access to and/or process the Customer Personal Data are obliged to keep the Customer Personal Data confidential;

(g)            not transfer the Customer Personal Data outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) without complying with the provisions of the Data Protection Legislation in respect of such transfer, save that if the Customer requires SteamaCo to transfer any Customer Personal Data outside the EEA pursuant to the Customer's instructions, it shall be the Customer's responsibility to ensure that any such transfer complies with the provisions of the Data Protection Legislation and to notify SteamaCo of any specific instructions or restrictions in respect of the same;

(h)            notify the Customer without undue delay if SteamaCo becomes aware of any personal data breach or of any request or objection from a data subject pursuant to the Data Protection Legislation, in each case relating to the Customer Personal Data;
